Default Epoxy: Finish Coat Required?

Per Dane:
Hmm, why not just use the 207-hardener (has UV-filters in it), and/or a
lacquer with uv-filters in it?

If you want it to be coloured, like it would with a non-see-through
tape, why not just paint it?


I want to be able to check up on a suspect area underneath it without sanding
off paint/gel coat.

Actually, the alternative hardener is sounding pretty good.

I wouldn't trust a hardener to provide adequate long-term protection.
You're better off to have an opaque layer of some sort over the epoxy.

Just be aware that there is an additional, hazardous material shipping
charge for shipping 207. I think I paid somewhere around $25 for a
quart of it. If you can find it locally it's worth doing.
